$100 free AWS credits (instant)

  1. Go to https://aws.amazon.com/big-data/powerof60/, complete the short form to the right. Only the email really needs to be accurate.
  2. You should get an automated email within ~5 minutes with a coupon which you can redeem at https://aws.amazon.com/awscredits/.
  3. The credits should be applied, and expire in 11-12 months (check the date).

Only one coupon can be applied per account, though.

  • Got it. Thanks!

  • Signed up, thanks. I can't believe they say $100 will only get you 600 hours though.

    Another thing to note -

    AWS Credits will expire 60 days after the date of issue or on March 1, 2014 (whichever occurs first).

    600 hours on a small EC2 instance. And you don't necessarily have to use them for EC2, use them for Route 53, SES, whatever.

    Not sure about that. The credits page say they don't expire for a year, guess we'll just wait and see.

  • Got mine,..exp:08/31/2014....

    Thanks, I just got mine.
    Hopefully can be used for previous months outstanding balance for excessive usage of their free tier. :D

    It goes towards your monthly bill, so any charges in September will be covered by the credits.

  • Let's see end of month then. :)

  • Worked for me, same expiry date.

    Sent.

  • Got mine. Thanks so much for sharing.

  • @Zen said:
    Me too, would appreciate it.

    Done.

    I've edited the OP since it does takes a bit more than 1-2 minutes, but it is automated.

  • Sweet. Free Route 53 for a year :) was going to switch to Rage4 since amazons geolocation for DNS is pretty pathetic as it only supports their locations :/ but free for a year I can't complain :)

  • Would like to have the code too. Thanks!

  • I got mine too...

  • Weird, waited over two hours still no coupon mail in my inbox. If anyone has some extra codes could you please let me have one? Thanks in advance.

  • @fan: Sent you a code.

    I too have noticed something's up with their system. Not sure what.

    Thank you very much, perhaps the problem is on salesforce, the form is actually handled by them.

  • Maybe because they dont want to handout 100 bucks to all?

    It's automatic, not manually approved.

    Done.

    I have just over a dozen leftover codes, if anyone wants one (until the form works again), send me a PM.
